Comic to Explain XHTML 2 and HTML 5

Many readers may not know about the confusion between terms like XHTML 2 and HTML 5. If you are at all into web design or web development though, you might be aware of some fuss around these two terms and what they mean for the community and practitioners. I certainly was.

My friend Jeremy Keith wrote a fantastic article explaining the whole mess in a very clear fashion. He even gave great analogies like my favorite comparison of Java to JavaScript as ham to hamster.

However, written as well as it was, I still found that it was quite a lot to process in the form of an article. Enter Brad Colbow, artist behind “The Brads“, who decided to transcribe Jeremy’s article in comic form and it immediately became a much more engaging and fun read.
